Mystery yard photo

[fitz]

Greetings New York Central fans. Please go to "Photography and Railroads" forum, "There is more to railroads than trains" topic, go to page 4, and look at the photo I posted there. Where is it? First one with the correct answer will be rewarded by true photo credits, so that I will not be prosecuted. :eek:

A little before my time, but how about Sunnyside Yard, Queens, New York!

Fred, welcome to the New York Central forum where we need all the participants we can get! No, the photo is not of the Yard in Queens. NYC had many of them. Wish we could still experience them.

I realized that it wasn't Sunnyside when I remembered that Sunnyside was PRR and this is an NYC forum, so how about Buffalo, NY as that tower could be Tower 48. Thanks for the welcome ( I hired out on the NYC here in Detroit in 1966 as a block operator)

This is getting interesting. Remember the photo dates back to 1906. It isn't Buffalo. Fred, you actually worked on the Central if you hired in 66, a couple of years before the "merger", eh? :rolleyes:

How's about Cleveland's Collinwood Yard?

Roger, that's it! Collinwood Yard. It was originally published as the back cover of the NYCSHS 1993 Calendar. The calendar says:"The west entrance to the Collinwood Shop Yard, from beneath the East 152nd Street bridge, June 12, 1906. The main Collinwood yard is to the right of center. LS&MS photograph.
Fitz :D
